Wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul was on Tuesday dominated of the primary two matches of the upcoming Asia Cup as a consequence of a “niggle”, delaying his much-anticipated return to the Indian crew.
India head coach Rahul Dravid stated the niggle is unrelated to the thigh damage that stored him out of motion for months.
Rahul was named within the Indian squad for the event, beginning Wednesday.
“KL has had a good week with us, playing well, progressing really well but he will be unavailable for the first part for the Kandy leg of the trip,” Dravid stated on the pre-departure presser.
